2-star hotel

Guest rating: 3.8 / 5

The Industrialist Hotel Brooklyn is a 2-star hotel at 651 Union St in Brooklyn, New York, positioned for travelers who want a base outside Midtown while still being within reach of major NYC sights. Public ratings sit at 3.8/5 from 330 reviews, suggesting an experience that many guests find solid but with notable trade-offs. Rooms are frequently described as very small, though some guests call out comfort—especially the bed—and strong bathroom quality. Service is a recurring highlight in some stays, while other reviews report inconsistent help from staff and occasional maintenance issues. The surrounding area places you relatively close to Brooklyn cultural attractions such as the Brooklyn Museum (about 1.8 km) and Brooklyn Botanic Garden (about 1.9 km). Iconic Manhattan and harbor landmarks—including the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (about 4.5 km), One World Trade Center (about 4.6 km), the Statue of Liberty (about 5.3 km), and Times Square (about 8.9 km)—are farther but within city-travel distance.

Best for

This property is best suited to solo travelers or couples who prioritize a Brooklyn location and are comfortable with compact rooms. It can also fit guests who care about bed comfort and a well-regarded bathroom experience, but who don’t need extensive on-site facilities (amenities are not documented).

Travel tips

Expect smaller-than-average rooms based on guest feedback; packing light can make the space easier to manage. If room condition is important to you, consider checking the room thoroughly soon after arrival, as some guests reported broken items and mixed upkeep. For sightseeing, Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden are among the closest major attractions, while Lower Manhattan sites like One World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum are farther but still accessible across the city.
